what gets rid of sore throat?
I snorted 130mg of dpt last night and had a horrible experience(visuals were incredible but couldn't enjoy them). I felt like i was going to die and it gave me a painful scratchiness in my throat and now its just sore and annoying as fuck. My nostril finally unclogged after 24 hours.

Also known as: pharyngitis
Sore Throat Remedies
These are herbs that are used as natural remedies for sore throat.
Slippery Elm
Slippery elm was once a popular drugstore remedy for sore throats in North America. The herb was listed in the United States Pharmacopeia, a compendium of drug standards, until 1960. A member of the elm family, the slippery elm tree (Ulmus Rubra Muhl) grows primarily in the eastern region of North America.
For sore throats, herbalists use the inner bark of the tree. The inner bark contains mucilage, a gel-like substance that swells when it is mixed with water. The mucilage is thought to coat the throat, reduce irritation, and soothe sore throat.
Slippery elm is often the primary ingredient in herbal sore throat lozenges found in health food stores or in the natural food section of some grocery stores and drug stores. A popular brand of slippery elm lozenges is Thayer's.
The safety of slippery elm in pregnant or nursing women has not been established.
Licorice
The herb licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) is a common ingredient in herbal teas for sore throat, such as the herbal tea products Throat Coat (Traditional Medicinals) and Throat Comfort (Yogi Teas).
Although licorice has not been associated with adverse effects when used for ten days or less, excessive longer-term use may result in side effects such as high blood pressure, swelling, and headaches. There is some evidence that licorice may lower testosterone in men.
When used in high doses, licorice may even cause heart failure and a muscle disorder called rhabdomyolysis.
People with high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, breast cancer, liver disease, or kidney disease, or those who are taking certain drugs such as digoxin, thiazide or loop diuretics, or corticosteroids should not use licorice. Licorice should not be taken by pregnant or nursing women and children.
Marshmallow
Marshmallow, a herb that grows in North America and Europe, has been used for centuries as a sore throat remedy. Like slippery elm, marshmallow contains mucilage, which is thought to coat and soothe sore throats.
Herbalists recommend marshmallow root tea for sore throats. It is usually made by adding one tablespoon of the dried root to a cup (8 ounces) of boiling water, steeping it covered for at least 10 minutes, and then straining. Herbalists usually suggest drinking up to three cups a day.
Consult a doctor before taking marshmallow if you have diabetes, as it may make your blood sugar too low especially when combined with diabetes medication. Marshmallow may also slow the absorption of other drugs taken at the same time. Marshmallow should not be taken by pregnant or nursing women.
Honeysuckle Flower
An herb that taste as sweet as it smells (and sounds), honeysuckle flower is one of the most commonly used sore throat remedies in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).
Honeysuckle flowers aren't as easy to find as slippery elm and marshmallow. Health food stores occasionally carry it, but it is primarily sold in Chinese herbal stores.
Practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine often recommend making honeysuckle tea by bringing one quart of water to a boil using this method: add one cup of honeysuckle flowers (not the leaves), steep for at least 10 minutes, covered, and then strain. Up to four cups a day are typically recommended.
Lemon, Apple Cider Vinegar, Cayenne, and Honey Tea
An old home remedy for sore throats is a tea made with lemon, apple cider vinegar, cayenne, and honey.
It is made by adding one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, a tiny pinch of cayenne pepper, the juice of 1/4 lemon, and one teaspoon of honey to a cup of hot water. Stir.
Typically, up to four cups a day is suggested.
Sage
There is some evidence that a throat spray made from the herb sage can help to reduce sore throat.
A randomized controlled trial compared the effectiveness of a 15% sage (Salvia officinalis) throat spray to a placebo in patients with sore throat.
The spray was significantly more effective than the placebo in reducing throat pain. Symptomatic relief occurred within the first two hours after the first administration.
Minor side effects such as throat dryness or burning of mild intensity were reported.
Only sage sprays designed specifically for sore throats should be used.

Well you can't be a Pharm Girl post for help that is for sure.
I think hot water with honey and maybe a shot of whiskey if you want.
This is what we do for colds and sore throats.
EDIT: Verk! haha I went to put in a load of laundry before hitting reply!

Cepacol. It's a medicated cough drop with a numbing agent in it.
So good.

Depends on what type of sore throat... but.... marijuana.
I have mono right now (omg its brutal) and I hadnt been smoking. I burned the other night for the first time in a while, and the swelling in my throat eased up so much and I felt so much better and more hungry for a while.

Hey Senior, no worries, I'm just being silly.
It does do that much.
We call liquor medicine in the bush...it's as good as a blanket sometimes.

I use what's called cara(sp?) in hindi for coughs, it should work for a sore throat. Boil honey, ginger and lemon juice in water and drink it hot.
